Cancel all police leave! Prince Harry is expected home within days, according to a UK newspaper, and he's planning to hit the town to hard to make up for missing out on the Christmas party season.

The 28-year-old prince has been serving a four month tour of duty in the war zone as an Apache helicopter pilot. And while it had previously been confirmed that he'd return to the UK in January, the Daily Star now reports that his homecoming is expected "within days."

Down at the Arts Club, they'll no doubt be laying in extra supplies of vodka, champagne and skinny blonde socialites.

The Star says that the exact date of Prince Harry's homecoming has not yet been released. Sources say Harry's return flight is being kept top secret due to threats made against him by the Taliban, although we have our doubts that  Kate Middleton and Prince William are planning a "boozy" welcome home party for the future uncle of their baby as the Star reports.

Prince Harry was deployed in September, just days after the nude photo scandal in Las Vegas. The prince was said to be marking his pending deployment then, but we suspect this homecoming will be celebrated without benefit of camera phones.

Prince Harry, aka Captain Wales in the British military, is an Apache helicopter pilot stationed at Camp Bastion in southern Afghanistan. He was accused of being a 'jackal' and of drunkenly killing innocents by an Afghan warlord this week.
